Trader Joe’s Oat Frozen Dessert Reviews & Info (Dairy-Free)

Trader Joe’s doesn’t want to call it ice cream, but for clarity sake, we’d describe it as dairy-free oat milk ice cream. The base of Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Oat Frozen Dessert is made with oats, water, and coconut oil instead of dairy cream. But it’s still a creamy, churned mixture that’s packed into pints and frozen.

Trader Joe’s Oat Frozen Dessert Joins their Dairy-Free Ice Cream Selection

Their oat variety has launched in just one flavor, but to make it special, they’ve spiked it with vegan almond brittle and candied strawberries. It’s also naturally colored with beet juice and annatto, which create a pretty pink hue.

Strawberry with Almond Brittle & Candied Strawberries

This is a soft, lightly creamy oat milk ice cream that’s relatively easy to scoop. The ice cream itself doesn’t contain any real strawberries, which might be why the flavor isn’t as purely intense. But the candied strawberries help. The brittle adds nice texture, but isn’t an overly sweet brittle.

Ingredients: oat base (water, oats), tapioca syrup, coconut oil, dextrose, invert sugar, chicory root extract (inulin), agave syrup, almond brittle (cane sugar, almonds), candied strawberries (strawberries, glucose syrup, sugar), maltodextrin, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, pink salt, sunflower lecithin, color added (red beet juice, annatto extract, citric acid [to maintain color]), pea protein concentrate, carob bean gum, natural flavor. contains almond, coconut.*
